I love Elizabeth's kits.

Boy last week was long but ended great. Mom is the hospital over night on Sunday, had to take my Grandmother to the doctor out of town on Wednesday, and Cody had 2 dentist appointments, the doctor about his foot and his allergy shots on Thursday. He wasn't feeling well on Friday, but got better so we went on to the beach for my Birthday on Saturday. We had Beautiful weather down there. Now to get some dolls made and my house cleaned up. Hope everyone has a great week.

Well my Mom gave us kids a scare Sunday.

We got a call for her sister that mom had past out while eating breakfast. Jamie and I went to the hospital and waited until 3P.M when they transfered her to the hospital in our home town. They kept her over night and let her go home tonight about 5P.M. They believe it is just the meds she is on with her slepp apnea. They had her on sleeping pills with that! So now she has a new Doctor and we hope he gets her straightened out. After losing dad last year on Father's Day we can't lose mom too.

Well just wanted to get that off my chest. Thanks for reading.

My Son took this photo of Squirt and I just had to scrap it. I cutout what I needed and then added the shadow.

It's a Bird, It's A Plane..... No it Captain Squirt

Vicki's newest patterns. So beautiful and you get 4 dolls in one pattern.

My Twilight Dreams
It was upon a summer's night,
I fell asleep to dream Twilight.

Dreaming dreams of her it's clear
Twilights close and forever near.

She spoke a song of fanciful things,
Of angel's dust and purple wings.

Her star filled voice floated through the night
I feared for sure she would leave my sight.

With unspoken lips she heard my plea
Twilight answered, "Yes, it's me."

You've dreamed your dreams and made us four
Dream your dreams of us no more.

The Fantasy Four
This is my 50th pattern and I wanted to make it magical. Make four dolls or one with four costumes. Two eye styles and four hair styles to choose from. The costumes are simple and removable. Take the mermaids tail off and turn her into a ballerina, take the fairy sprites wings and put them on the princess, the magic and the fantasy is yours................

My son in 2002. This is one of my favorite photos of him.

I used the kit Enchanted by Elizabeth Lane at SOTB.

I love this kit because of the great blues and golds.

Into the night more dreams were found
Crowns and gowns and mystical sounds.

Lords and ladies they did visit
To view her beauty quite exquisite.


Her majesty shown untold riches
Dragons, kings and magical witches.

Who was this before me, must I bow?
Princess Lacy said "Not now"

With unspoken lips she heard my plea
The princess answered, "Yes, it's me."
Spin your dreams to make us four,
Tomorrow night dream us more

OK here is the third of four. Can you guess us ever more.

Boy Ms. Vicki has us all trying to guess who will be the last doll.

Any guesses. Read each poem and see if you can guess.

Photos that I took of Mabry Mill this past summer while Driving alone the Blueridge Parkway

266 Mabry Mill RdBlue Ridge Parkway Mile Post 176.1Meadows of Dan, VA 24120Beautiful location that has been photographed and painted many times. Restored gristmill/sawmill/woodworking shop and blacksmith shop. Old time skills (basket weaving, seat caneing, spinning, and weaving) demonstrated. Applebutter making on Sundays in October - Oldtime bluegrass music on Sundays 2:00 - 6:00 p.m.

Tomorrows dream came swiftly near
With leaps and twirls she showed no fear.

This night's dream of dancing toes
Wore butterfly wings in gossamer clothes.

My approach came slowly as not to rush
Her beauty was of summers blush.

Crowned with dreams she shown of light
From head to toe pure delight.

With unspoken lips she heard my plea
Tina answered, "Yes, it's me."

"Spin your dreams to make us four,
Tomorrow night dream us more".

Ms. Vicki is at it again. Can you believe how many of these wonderful and beautiful dolls she comes up with.
